The following is proof, if any is needed, that Collectivism (hate to use the term National Collectivism) is very much a Right-wing ideology, or more accurately, the promotion of a fictional community where everybody is somehow the same despite said "community" being too large for everyone to possibly know each other:

Colin Gibbs, prosecuting, told the court: "We say he has a terrorist agenda, but to a right-wing part of the spectrum." What does it bloody matter? It matters 'cos non-right wing terrism means, in their book Islamism or Animal Rights.

On myth of this fictional community is that its members do not hold extreme views.

It should also be noted that a form of Individualism is very much prevalent in Leftist
movements. Leftists have an individualised view of the world, the consequence being the disagreements they have with each other about aspects of their campaigns/policies/party line.

The importance of this Individualism is that it breeds respect for difference and autonomy
(something the Right can't seem to wrap its tiny brain around), but has a danger
expressed in the quote above when Leftists are portrayed as single-issue campaigners because this removes all sense of Universality in our ideologies.

It should also be pointed out that, in the Enlightenment period "Leftists" were in favour
of Equalty and small, cheap government,
while the Right were in favour of Inequality and expensive Armies and court lackies.
